24 years after his passing; his songs, his music and his spirit lives on. He left his immeasurable impact on each and every one of us. Today, we hope you celebrate him. Play some guitar, play his music and play nice. Be kind to each other and above all Play…Don’t Worry.

Until now, you’ve only seen this photo in black and white, published in The Spider With The Platinum Hair. Today we colour the world, colour you – colour me.

Interview clips with David Bowie, Joe Elliott, Lou Reed, Cherry Vanilla, Tony Zanetta and more reveal what a magnificent guitarist and man RONNO was and why his legacy lives on. We congratulate Cardinal Releasing as we anticipate hearing more about the premier of this long awaited film.

The Mick Ronson biography ‘The Spider With The Platinum Hair’ will re-launch on April 6th, 2017 via John Blake Books.

Now, in its third printing this reissue arrives with a brand new gorgeous cover and a few additional pages. This update picks up where the story left off in 2009 and brings the reader right back to Hull where currently celebrations are in the works to commemorate its favorite musical, native son: RONNO.

Shortly after John Blake Books bought out our former publisher, TSWTPH received a big digital nod getting issued as an eBook for the very first time. Clearly, this allows the Ronson story to reach more people worldwide and we couldn’t be happier about that.

In the wake of David Bowie’s passing, the revival of vinyl records and the recent activities of his family, peers and hometown, it’s as if there’s a renewed interest in Ronson and frankly, its due time.

We are deeply honored that people still care about this little book and we’re more proud of it today than ever. God bless The Spider With The Platinum Hair – we truly hope that you enjoy this new edition.
